Peacock News

January 3rd 2008 – the start of our new business! We have been looking forward to this day for quite a while now; at times it seemed like it might never happen. I write this after we have paid all the final monies to the solicitor and in between organising and cooking for many hectic Christmas Parties. The removal vans are booked, equipment ordered, new china, glasses, cutlery and other assorted paraphernalia safely stored in my parents’ garage ready to be transported to the Peacock. It will take us a little time to get sorted and organised so we are planning to close for a few days, reopening on Tuesday January 8th with a limited food menu while we complete a kitchen refit.

As many of you have already found out my business has been based at Edgbaston Golf Club for the last five years and during January I have to finish my commitments to functions I have there. I know there have been a few of you eating at the Club over the Christmas time so you have had a sample of the type of food we offer – freshly cooked, local produce cooked simply and stylishly. Our menu will aim to give you good value for money served in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Our first coffee morning will be on Wednesday 9th January; menus will be available then for the village lunch. Our launch party will be the beginning of February and our first big occasion will be Valentines Day. In the meantime if you see a couple of hassled deranged women and a convoy of removal vans you will know we have arrived! Pop in and say hello. We are really looking forward to meeting you all.

Happy New Year to you and yours.

Cheers!

Yvonne and Pam
